This was another great trip provided by Timberbush tours. Our tour guide Davie was very funny and had some excellent information along our tour. I always love seeing the highland mountains in the Glencoe area and to have a bagpiper playing at the three sisters in Glencoe when we made a stop was just priceless. Mallaig was a beautiful town (even in the rain) and we had time to get something to eat and watch the train pull into the station. Davie made sure that we left at the right time so that we could get to see the train over the viaduct and he also pointed out the monument to Bonnie Prince Charlie across the street from the viaduct area. You have a couple of choices to view the train going over the viaduct either below the train or at the top of the viewing area. If you do go up to the viewing area it's a 3 minute walk up a slight slope with protruding rocks so be aware of your footing. If you prefer below the train it's a 15 minute walk to get to the bottom of the viaduct but it looked like it was a paved pathway.
